The Iliad - The War of Troy (Complete) - Greek Mythology in Comics

[@humongousfungusamongus3871]

I'm such an avid fan of Greek mythology that I read The Iliad, The Odyssey, The Eaniad & Robert Graves @ an early age. Now I'm in my 50's & still love Greek Mythology whole heartedly. My eyesight is not what it used to be so I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating the videos you have for us horrid eyesight, Greek Mythology lovers out here!

[@sudhirmunasur5508]

Greek mythology extends to Iranian mythology as well, in fact that whole region. It's very deep and I'm only now being serious with Greek Mythology. It would be nice to form a study club for the illiad.

[@MarloMl]

I'm always confused, i read the german book/tale of the "Nibelungen". Equal to this story, you don't know what you reading, until you see some "one of a kind" trope, and it hits you. Trojan horse? Hagen? I know that, and then, you realize that in every fiber of our culture, there's some of the old. You can't erase the past to that degree.

[@williamsoltes1658]

Absolutely awesome. This version is unquestionably and by far the best version of the story ever told! This is all five star stuff guys. It includes all the details, nuances, and Characters that other versions leave out. An absolutely outstanding work of history and art. THANK YOU!!!!

No, it's not the best version. It's been slightly altered in some important scenes.

[@mysteriouspartyguy]

​@ThePaganSun I was about to say the same thing. Still entertaining, if nothing else.

[@danpeterson114]

Wrong on all points. See my post above. Besides leaving out critical elements of the story (like why the Trojans didn't tear open the horse to make sure there were no Greeks inside), there was no attempt to research and depict the ancient Mycenean Greeks and Trojans as they would have actually looked like at the actual time of the Trojan War. Instead the Greeks look like they were copied from the Spartans in that totally lame "300" comic.

[@radiklfred]

Just love how badass this artist depicts my boy Odysseus! Job well done

This is better than the movie Troy and does really represent and honor Homer's work, Iliad. Amazingly done, I can barely imagine how much work has gone into this production. Chapeau.

It's more accurate than the movie Troy but not completely. This still has some important changes too that don't match the Iliad.

When you hear this (a much more dedicated to telling the story in its original version) it's such a different and more rich story. Troy the movie for whatever reason cut out or left out bits critical to the story. Hearing those bits in here makes you think ohhhhh THATS how it was meant to be told hey

[@pepperspray7386]

one could argue that Odysseus doomed them all the moment he hatched the plan to subvert "the will of the gods" by manipulating Helen into choosing Menelaus instead of allowing the goddess of love to do her work. If Helen had not used beauty as her deciding factor, she surely would not have done it again when/if pretty as a picture Paris arrived.

[@scottnunnemaker5209]

I like to imagine this is just the story people made up to explain a time when all the warriors left for a couple decades. Like the whole sea peoples stuff, I could totally see there being a famine or something and a bunch of Greeks(along with a bunch of other island/seafaring people) went out to plunder their neighbors for all the riches they bragged about having. Taking over all islands, Ugarit, the Anatolia coast, before getting stopped at Egypt. What was left limped back home to find their kingdoms in ruin and possibly invaded by other groups from the north. Writing practically disappears for a while and when it comes back we get a story like the Illiad, totally fictional, but I like to think it was based on a survivor who made it back telling super embellished stories as to where he was and what had happened to him over the last couple decades away. Like if Bilbo left the shire for all that time with the dwarves and they didn’t actually experience any difficulty at all, but when Bilbo gets back in the shire he makes up this whole Lonely Mountain adventure story to tell to young Frodo.

Difficult to think of the epic as just mythology. The characters seem too real. In Hinduism, there are epics like Ramayana and Mahabharata. It has been more or less established that the Mahabharata war did happen. The Trojan War is similar. It seems so non fictional. The portrayal of the gods and demi gods could just be deifying of superior humans.

While we learn everything about the Trojan War from ancient Greek texts, the misinformation continues. There was never a war between Greeks and Trojans.
